I'm back and finally got a project to work on!
We picked up this '50 (or so I've been told...how do I confirm the year?) Chevy 3100 3-window truck. It's not the cleanest but I'm happy with the deal we got (talked him down to $500)
Future plans (so far...I'm sure I'll change my mind on some things before it's done)
- I'll most likely ditch the fenders and hood since they're not in great shape and it's not really the look I want.
- 3.5-4" chop
- 5.3l LSx (I'm not sure about the modern engine -especially if running fenderless- but hubs wants fuel injection and I'm letting him get his way on this one)
- Factory frame, possibly z'd
- Mustang II front suspension
- Mustang 8.8 rear axle
- Satin black paint w/ hot pink stripping
- Black/White firewall (it won't be the traditional checkered print but my own "play" off that concept [ddd )
Here's some pics from today...
